Witness Protection Services Required

The sun reappeared yesterday and the Buzzards took to the field after too many days off. As you might have expected with the deluge of rain we’ve had, the field was a bit “spongy” in places. We had an odd number yesterday of 5 on 4 because Todd inexplicably did not show up after RSVPing for the game. We thought maybe he just missed the time change but when he didn’t come out after a half hour we assume he got sucked into some kind of meeting.

Too bad too, because the gold team desperately needed him yesterday. The green team was the 4-man team and Bryan, Bob, Rodney & Tom had a great game. Bob was showing bursts of speed normally only seen in our less “seasoned” players, Rodney was swatting discs out of the air on defense, and Tom was making throws that frankly, I haven’t seen Tom make before. Swinny was enjoying being surrounded by the talent yesterday and they pretty much mopped up the field with the extra-manned gold team. I would tell you who was on that team but they have been put in the Federal Witness Protection program after yesterday’s performance.

I will tell you they were all regular players who have all seen better days. The bulk of the problem yesterday seemed to center around being able to actually complete a pass…often the first. The defense wasn’t too bad. The scores being made by green were, for the most part, earned by just good play by them but gold’s offense was…well offensive. They actually found some scores very late in the game and connected on a couple long plays but it was a long time coming and generally just had the effect of winning the West Virginia primary at the end of a long campaign season when you’re insurmountably behind in the delegate count.

We’re hoping for a better showing today. It’s supposed to be another perfect weather day, sunny, 70 degrees, barely any wind. How can you not want to come out and throw the disc around? How could you possibly do any worse then the gold throwers yesterday? Bring a friend. And if they look familiar, but have a different name, you’ll know they may have been one of the players from yesterday…don’t give up their identity, it’s for their own good.
